Next Mod's should be....
Re-spray the front bumper again with the lip
Clear Bra the car's front end so you don't get chips
Wheels and Tires
Looks good...I also like the Brakes

yes those are freaking rock chips. the z's front end does not hold up to rocks on the front. i also had the front end re-painted about a year ago because the rock chips got so bad! Another couple of months i might have to do it again, (note to self - might be time to rethink that clear bra idea!)
side skirts match pretty well, pic two must be the lighting......
looking into the 19" nismo's with toyos or the CPF tuned with toyos. Problem with CPF is they do not support the TPS sensors and i like them! I guess it will be the nismo's (in silver) when the price comes down a bit...
thanks everyone.

You might want to consider some tint for the windows.
I went 20% and the rear hatch and 35% on the front and back side windows.

so, after a little more inspection, my side skirts DO NOT match the car, like in the pictures!
It is no ones imagination and not the lighting. They are much darker than the car. i am surprised i missed that after the install.
Anyway, i took it down to the paint shop and they said no problem. Take em back off and bring em back in (this time with the car) and they will be perfect this time. The painter went into the body shop managaer and said, "I told you, this is why you never paint a part without the car around to color match. NEVER AGAIN, RIGHT?" The painter was bummed but knew it was not my fault.
They are a very nice paint shop that is DEFINITELY losing money on this deal! They charged me only $160.00 to paint the side skirts. now they have to do them again... I was guaranteed this time they will be perfect.
i'll post some new pics after it is fixed....
